In order to avoid being like 1000 other directories, I decided to implement a News section for all members who submit links to my directories. News is a place where webmasters can submit news about site-updates, submit their articles, product campaigns and much more. In the long-run the aim is to give webmasters stronger backlinks and deeper backlinks to your websites too. As the NewsFeed grows, the backlinks will get stronger. It is currently open to all. To submit news about your site(s) : a. Go to News b. Click "register" in the Editor's Box (left-hand column). Fill in quick form. You are ready to start submitting news about your site(s). To start submitting news : c. Login and click "Newsfeed Home". d. Then select a category of your choice. e. Go to Editor's Box and find "Submit News" f. Fill in quick form and your news will be up in seconds. You can always review your news-stories and edit them later by clicking "Your News Archive". This is a brand new tool launched today, so your feedback is much appreciated.
A great idea, but not new. Be sure you moderate those posts before they go live or there is no telling what will come up as news. Best of luck!
